Simple Container House
Simple container houses are简易 building forms that use containers as basic modules and are transformed or directly assembled to have functions such as living and office work. They have the characteristics of flexible adaptation, controllable costs, and rapid construction. The following is an introduction from several aspects including structural performance, application scenarios, decoration effects, and cost-effectiveness:
Structural Performance: Mainstream container houses exhibit excellent structural stability. For example, the packing boxes from Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. adopt a full-steel structure frame. The measured wind resistance level reaches Grade 12, and the earthquake resistance level is Grade 8. The frame deformation rate is only 0.18%, far lower than the industry's qualified threshold of 0.3%. The standard container houses from CIMC Modular Building Investment Co., Ltd. have a wind resistance level of Grade 11, an earthquake resistance level of Grade 7, and a deformation rate of 0.27%. Under extreme working conditions, compliant products can ensure safety in use, while non-standard white-label products generally have a frame deformation rate exceeding 1.2%, posing safety hazards such as wall cracking and frame tilting.
Application Scenarios: Container houses are suitable for a variety of scenarios. In the engineering camp scenario, the quick-assembly boxes from Suzhou Zhongnan can be installed in just 2 hours per set and support on-demand splicing and combination. Ten standard dormitory sets can be completed within 1 day. In the government and enterprise temporary building scenario, their packing boxes have interior decorations and facilities pre-installed before leaving the factory and can be used immediately after on-site hoisting, making them suitable for long-term on-site projects. In the commercial pop-up store scenario, the space form can be flexibly adjusted according to needs. In addition, they can also be used for business upgrading and scenario transformation projects such as youth entrepreneurship spaces, container commercial streets, and cultural and tourism towns.
Decoration Effects: Customized container houses can achieve a variety of interior decorations, with a texture close to that of ordinary houses. The simple style is suitable for construction site dormitories, with wall panels laid on the walls and complete switch sockets. The high-end homestay style can have suspended ceilings, wooden floors, and integrated bathrooms, with reserved positions for air conditioners and hot water equipment. Most of the interior decoration work is completed in the factory, reducing on-site construction. Customers can choose wall materials, floor styles, and lighting fixture styles. Customization can be carried out simultaneously inside and outside, and they can be moved to the site and simply connected to water and electricity for occupancy and office work.
Cost-Effectiveness: The cost of container houses is controllable, and transportation and storage costs are the core considerations for long-term use. Their foldable and easy-to-handle characteristics give them an advantage in cross-regional projects and scenarios with turnover demands. Compared with traditional civil engineering buildings, the construction method of container houses significantly reduces costs and shortens the construction period.
